Smart Farming is an emerging concept that refers to managing farms using modern Information and Communication Technologies to increase the quantity and quality of products while optimizing the human labor require

💚THINK SMART💚
India has the most arable land in the world and
India’s history tells right about its agricultural efficiency, excellent climatic conditions, and natural-resource availability

Among the technologies available for present-day farmers are:

Sensors: soil, water, light, humidity, temperature management
Software: specialized software solutions that target specific farm types or Applications agnostic IoT platforms
Connectivity: cellular, LoRa etc.
Location: GPS, Satellite, etc.
Robotics: Autonomous tractors, processing facilities, etc.
Data analytics: standalone analytics solutions, data pipelines for downstream solutions, etc

Benefits of smart farming

Increased Production.
Water Conservation.
Real-Time Data and Production Insight.
Lowered Operation Costs.
Increased Quality of Production.
Accurate Farm and Field Evaluation.
Improved Livestock Farming.
Reduced Environmental Footprint.

Reduce waste, improve productivity and enable managment of a greater number of resources through remote sensing consantly monitoring and the land and condition of crops.

A system is formed to monitor the farmland with the help of sensors which senses components like temperature, light, humidity, soil moisture, etc. Then, automate the irrigation system and allow farmers to monitor their field conditions from anywhere through IoT Analytics Platform

Benefits Of Using IoT In Agriculture

the application of the Internet of Things in agriculture used to efficiency, reduction of resources and cost, automation and data-driven processes. In agriculture, however, these benefits don’t act as improvements, but rather the solutions for the whole industry confronting a range of dangerous problems

Crop monitoring

As in the case of weather condition monitoring, sensors for crop monitoring also collect all information like crop health, humidity, precipitation, temperature, and other parameters. If there are any deviations, farmers may identify them beforehand and take appropriate actions. Also, sensors help farmers determine when the best moment to plant crops and harvest them.

Drones

Drones can also identify drier regions in a field and measures can then be taken to irrigate such regions with better techniques. Precision agriculture provides farmers with such concrete information that enables them to make informed decisions and utilize their resources more efficiently.
